SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on United States Magistrate Judge Carol Mirando's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 60) on G.R. Construction Management, Inc.'s Motion for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 51). Judge Mirando recommends that G.R.'s Motion be granted in part and G.R. be awarded $26,825.00 in attorney's fees. (Doc. 60). No party has objected to the R&R, and the period to do so has lapsed. This matter is ripe for review.
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).
After conducting an independent examination of the file and on consideration of Judge Mirando's findings and recommendation, the Court accepts the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 60) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED and the findings incorporated herein.
2. G.R. Construction Management, Inc.'s Motion for Attorney's Fees (Doc. 51) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Defendant G.R. Construction Management, Inc. is awarded $26,825.00 in attorney's fees.
3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter an amended judgment awarding Defendant G.R. Construction Management, Inc. $26,825.00 in attorney's fees.
DONE and ORDER.
